Meet the Artist
Hunter’s story begins in a world of imagination. Childhood was never ordinary — fabrics became costumes and landscapes, scraps of color became characters, and play was always a kind of transformation. The instinct to turn the everyday into atmosphere was the first spark, a way of shaping the world through invention.
Music soon became the first true calling. What began as a natural gift was shaped by devoted instruction and countless hours of practice — not as burden, but as meditation. Each repetition was emotionally rich and deeply satisfying, as though sound itself carried a secret language. The trumpet offered boldness, the blockflute — with its ancient, earthy voice — stirred something timeless within, and singing gave emotion its purest form. Touring with orchestras opened doors to Europe, where Hunter fell in love with its history, art, and music. Baroque and classical compositions unveiled their invisible architecture — structure as atmosphere, ornament as emotion. They also revealed the beauty of contradiction: how harmony only deepens when set against dissonance. Those lessons became foundations that continue to echo through Hunter’s process today — an enduring love of contrast, and of transformation born through tension.
Dance arrived as the next great teacher, shaping the years of adolescence. Classical ballet etched elegance and rigor into the body, teaching story through silence and discipline through form. Later, international Latin ballroom added fire and intensity — rhythm learned in another tongue, passion balanced with precision. Dance made contrast second nature: strength and fragility, surrender and control, order and abandon.
Art and design eventually became the culmination of this path. In San Francisco, studies in color theory, textiles, digital design, and fashion opened a new stage — one shaped by fabric, silhouette, and pattern. What began as play with cloth and sound evolved into garments alive with resonance. Each creation carried the threads of everything before it: the imagination of a child, the music of Baroque, the discipline of dance.
Hunter’s work is not about style, but sensation. Every design is a portal — into memory, atmosphere, and transformation. Fabrics mirror the inner world, patterns echo the complexity of consciousness, silhouettes hold what words cannot. At the heart of this is alchemy: the timeless pursuit of becoming whole through contradiction, refinement, and resonance.
What began in play has become a living language. Hunter invites you to step into that language — to feel, to wear, to transform.
